The results showed that kalego traditional game has been degraded or unsustainably practiced as the impact of the low awareness and low understanding among Muna community toward this traditional game. Approximately 71.25% Muna community in Watopute district cannot play the traditional game. The unsustainability of kalego was caused by several factors namely; 1) the absence of the family inheritance about kalego traditional game and the decreasing number of old figures who understand Muna culture contribute to the decreasing of local culture knowledge among younger generations; 2) Cultural encounters which results incorporated acculturation toward Muna's local culture; 3) the absence of the massive kalego game staging.

Some peatland management cases, particularly in Kalimantan, cause serious environmental problems, especially in flammable land. Local people around the area are the first to receive the impacts. Therefore, peatland management needs to be prudent and requires sustainable environmental management. This study aims to find a model for peatland management carried out by the government and local communities through BUMDes program. According to the interview results and field observations, peatland management with a collaborative model between the government (state) and the local community in Rasau Jaya Village is found in the form of Maju Jaya Village-owned Enterprises (BUMDes).

In this study, peatland functions as a tourist attraction managed by the local community (ecotourism). Real implementation government collaboration with the local community has opened up new livelihoods for communities without undermining peatlands' ecological ecosystem.

The very significant distribution of the Corona Virus Disease (Covid 19) continues to show an increase, thus stimulating the government's fast and precise work in its efforts to overcome it.

However, not a few people pay attention to this, which is shown by the many activities that involve many people. Therefore, efforts are needed that can be more effective from the government, including using persuasive actions by touching public awareness, one of which can be done through the local language. By using the local language approach, this service is carried out to raise public awareness of the importance of preventing the transmission of Covid 19 where the virus has caused deaths of up to 9%, which is currently still increasing in number. In addition to regional languages, this service also targets people's understanding, especially youth, of foreign terms related to the Covid 19 pandemic, both in terms of health and social, food and economic sectors which are very close to everyday life but are still poorly understood by them. An understanding of these terms is important, given their inherent impact on the public profession.
